UPDATE: Thank god I called. It's now June 3, 2014. I will keep updating this page or you can call the court yourself. Media and I will be reporting from the trial.

So far the pre-trial hearing is still set for June 2, 2014. This trial should last about five days. The Judge can then rule if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial. The DA Robert Knowles is still the lead prosecutor in the case. Defendants Neil Campbell, Philip Powers have lawyers. I will be attending the trial and reporting here. People in the media will also be there. Hopefully there will be justice and the Judge will realize that Dr Gary Michelson filed a false report for a non-existent crime. Gary Michelson made money on the teak farms. He did not lose money. No one stole from him. No one committed fraud.

Gary Michelson who NEVER names anything after himself has now named the 1,234th prize/building/grant/patent after himself. He's now adding Alya's name to everything because of this blog. If you search her name, you will see the truth about Gary Michelson here. Gary Michelson does not want people to know the truth about him.

"It is with this in mind that Dr. Michelson recently sponsored a category of student prizes that will be awarded at the forthcoming Los Angeles County Science Fair. The award, which he hopes will encourage students in the study of STEM, is to be called the “Gary and Alya Michelson Invention Prize” and will be presented to the top three students with projects most likely to lead to a patentable technology."

The "this" that is in mind is the fact that only 20% of computer scientists are women.

Just searched this and it turns out the paragraph above was part of a fake article. I have no idea why someone would want to write a fake article. The real article has this quote. It has nothing to do with women but with students with research projects which are most likely to lead to a patentable technology. Notice, Gary only cares about patents. He doesn't care about great inventions or helping people.

"The foundation recently sponsored a category of student prizes at the Los Angeles County Science Fair. The award, called the “Gary and Alya Michelson Invention Prize” and worth up to $1300 for individual winners, went to the top four students deemed to have research projects most likely to lead to a patentable technology; Aeden Gasser-Brennan, Akira Higaki, Ryan Wong, and Vick Lui."

From the LA Times interview. Again Gary Michelson wants everyone to acknowledge how much money he has and how much he gives away. Out of the other side of his mouth he wants to appear down to earth with no ego. The Times reporter must know that Forbes get the money data from the people on the list. They don't do any research or verify anything. They just call the person up and they tell them. Gary tells Forbes how much money he has. I wouldn't be surprised if Gary called Forbes and not vice versa. Gary Michelson is extremely insecure deep inside which is why he tries to project this huge image of being a genius inventor philanthropist with big "lobster claw" hands.

"He was listed at No. 290 in 2010, with a net worth estimated at $1.4 billion. He won't confirm the figures or say precisely how much he gives away. "It's unseemly," he said, urging a reporter to focus on his foundations rather than on him."

Gary Michelson hired Konnect Public Relations to try to help his horrible image. They are writing press releases for him and releasing them on PRWeb. What's really funny is that they are attaching their website and not the website of the client to the news release. Gary Michelson is basically paying them to promote themselves. I've never seen a PR firm do that before. I use PRWeb.

The adopt and shop opened a week or so ago. This is obviously news for news sake. Here are more press releases from this PR firm. Notice they attach the web page of their company and not the client. Gary is paying to promote the PR company. Also notice the many, many errors in the press releases. Do they have a seven year old in India writing these things? Aimee could do a much better job than this PR firm.

Free Google teacher app. Google is years ahead of 20 Million Minds. Their app uses Google docs, gmail and Google+ to streamline teachers' work so they can concentrate on teaching. I have my free manuals loaded up to Google docs.

From the sample jury instructions in the original Medtronic v Gary Michelson case. It appears that Gary claimed that Medtronic's patents for the InfuseTM Bone Graft/LT-CageTM Lumbar Tapered Fusion devise system infringed on his 498 patent which is the threaded spinal cage. This means Dr. Gary Michelson knew they were using Infuse Bone Graft with his cage. Gary Michelson won this lawsuit then sold the rights to this to Medtronic for the $1.3B settlement.

THE ‘498 PATENT (Trial Ex. 7; Juror Binder Vol. 1, Tab 7) Question No. 34:Has Dr. Michelson proven by a preponderance of the evidence that
Medtronic Sofamor Danek infringed any of the following asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,270,498 (sometimes referred to as the ‘498 patent), which include a guard with a disc penetrating extension?

While googling I found this very crazy website. I thought it was a parody at first. Whoever runs this company is wild crazy. They make spine implants. http://eminentspine.com/ They name all their patented implants after snakes, e.g. Cobra Fang implant. They sell apparel that says "bad to the bone." WTH kind of crazy inventor crap is this mess? They even sell socks emblazoned with their logo and a cobra with an open mouth showing his fangs besides a big ole gaudy Texas sized belt buckle.

Eminent Spine Texas belt buckle

Go to their FAQs. Pretty funny. They are in Texas which explains the belt buckle. Their logo is a snake because "snakes are all spine and they are all about spines." They have what looks like threaded cages but they don't call it "threaded." They are cages with "teeth." I would definitely choose this company over Medtronic products any day. I will be needing surgery and some of their cages "with teeth" look like Michelson's cage which he stole. Medtronic is a public company which needs to increase earnings continuously in order to keep shareholders happy. This is probably why Medtronic kept selling Infuse when they knew it was a horrible product that harmed people. I also bet Medtronic gets their parts made in China to cut even more corners. For those reasons I'd never buy their product. In fact when I finally get surgery I will make them show me the product before they put me under. I don't want to see "Michelson technology in action" or I will run out the door (okay, hobble) in just a hospital gown.

Oyster lets you rent books for $9.95/mo. Obviously no delivery costs. These are major popular books by big name authors. There are some educational, self-help books in there, the entire Dummies series. I don't see many textbooks. I think this company could easily add textbooks. That would be $120/yr for all textbooks. They are so far ahead of 20 Million Minds. I wonder who put this free text book idea in Gary's head.

This snippet came from the longer video which Gary Michelson paid to have made about himself. Why did they make another video of this horribly embarrassing mistake? I copied the video thinking they'd take it down instantly since they are reading this blog daily. Nope, it's been up there two months. Obviously none of Gary's employees care about him to not say anything. Gary Michelson is not "one patent away from Ben Franklin." Benjamin Franklin had none because he didn't believe in patents. He felt people should share their inventions to help other people. That is the opposite of Gary Michelson. Gary must get his name on everything and all the money.

Gary Michelson said he was going to give all his money away to charity. Years after he formed these non-profits he hadn't funded them. After I wrote a few articles about this he finally funded the Michelson Medical Research Foundation. He put in $108M and spent about $4M. The $4M he spent on Found Animals. $104M is just sitting there as stocks, bonds, banking accounts, funds making interest and increasing in value. This is probably why he is the only director of the organization. He wants to control his money which is just sitting in there not helping anyone or his mission statement.

He also started a new non-profit fund called Found Animals Legislative Fund Inc. I will check that out to see if that is what paid the author and lobbyist, pr, media person to write the "White Paper." https://bulk.resource.org/irs.gov/eo/2013_08_EO/27-4529197_990O_201212.pdf He modeled this after HSUS's legislative fund. Gary put $10,000,000 into it. It's purpose is to get bills passed. Like the one that just failed? The fund spent $5K. I think this was the $5K Gary paid to a lawyer to write an appeal in the Colorado Breed Specific Legislation against pit bulls. That means that $9,995,000 is sitting in a non-profit making interest and increasing in value without having to pay taxes on it.

He lists that one holding is Karlin Oppotunity (sic) Fund LLC. He lists loans he made on real estate. This really looks like tax evasion. And here Gary Michelson says non-profit art museums are "just tax evasion." He should talk. Again, he is the sole director. Generally you need at least three directors. He changed that because I believe he fears being kicked off his own board. Now he can use this non-profit for tax evasion and personal dealings. His medical research non-profit gave $4.5M to Found Animals as part of one of its goals? He also gave money to 20 Million Minds which has to do with text books.Gary admits he spends zero hours a week working on the non-profit.He started another group named after himself, "Michelson foundation and business plan competition." "I never name things after myself, neva eva." He also donated money to support patent education. He only gave a few thousand to spinal cord research. This non-profit is not giving money toward it's main goal which is medical research. I'm no accountant but it looks like tax evasion to me. Originally Gary said the foundation was to support research into helping people with bad backs.

A young woman is sitting in a garden with her grandpa. How nice. Wait a second, that's her husband who is over 30 years older than her. He is over double her age, older than her dad. Here is Gary Michelson trying to give himself some good press. Here he is trying to appear straight. This just gets sadder and sadder.

From the article in USC website,

"For Dr. Gary K. Michelson, the USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience, made possible after his and his wife Alya’s $50 million donation, has never been about a name on a building.
“I never named anything after myself, there’s no Michelson anything,” said the retired orthopedic spinal surgeon and inventor of hundreds of instruments, implants and procedures that make spinal surgeries faster and safer.
“For me, it’s all about the science,” said Michelson, who holds, or has pending, nearly 1,000 patents worldwide."

I'm sure it was in the contract that they MUST name the building after him. Gary names everything after himself, i.e. Michelson Prize, Michelson Medical Research Foundation not to mention all the things he named with his middle name Karlin. He forces companies to write ilovegary web pages full of bullshit in his honor. He makes them put stickers on his products that say "Michelson technology at work," see previous post about this. He has this on the bottom of every single web page in every single website for his businesses and charities, Support for Found Animals and its initiatives comes from the generous contributions of Dr. Gary Michelson and Alya Michelson.

Gary has a garyisgreat page in every website for every business and charity. They are all like this,

He pays for positive press and videos. Notice, he now has nearly 1,000 patents. That's just one less than Benjamin Franklin...who had zero because he didn't believe in owning ideas.

Gary goes on to say that USC called him up to talk about "collaborating." No, USC called him up to ask for money. I went to USC. I took a graduate research class and wrote a paper on social response bias. I presented my research at a symposium. I know how the grants and research works at USC because the professors talked about it in class. Professor's job is to get the money then do research on anything but it MUST have a distinct result one way or the other. They prefer if you do research on products, drugs developed by donors. UCLA just got in big trouble over this and it had to do with Dr Gary Michelson's spine cage, Infuse and Medtronic.

Straight from press release about Gary's donation. Gary was just a fund raising goal, "Read more about the recent gift, which represents a milestone in USC’s current fundraising initiative — the Campaign for the University of Southern California. The Campaign, with a fundaising goal of $6 billion, recently reached its halfway point, raising an unprecedented $3 billion in three years."

Dr Gary Michelson has a huge ego and is totally full of himself. He pays people to rewrite his life history to make it seem like he had a tough life and made it all on his own. From Found Animals Foundation website.

"At the age of seventeen, Dr. Michelson left behind his humble beginnings and set out on the arduous task of working one and sometimes two jobs to put himself through college."

Gary Michelson did not come from humble beginnings. His grandfather Joseph Karlin had money and was educated. He went to four years of college and was an accountant. Then he owned a store selling fabric and buttons. He paid for his daughter and sons to go to college the same one Gary went to. One is a doctor Gary's uncle Dr Arthur Karlin. Gary's other brothers all went to college and became doctors, Dr Eric Lee Michelson, Dr Larry Karlin Michelson. I'm sure mom and grandfather paid for it. When Gary's father divorced his mother when he was 11 she remarried a doctor who then died Dr Aaron Spector. Then she married very wealthy Bernhard Blumenfeld who also died and left her and her sons money. There were no "humble" beginnings. Gary even brags about having a TV in the early '50's. That would mean they were well off.

"Through his foundations Dr. Michelson has donated over 100 million dollars for cutting edge medical research shunning all use of his name, attribution, or recognition."

This statement is ridiculous to the point of being hilarious. One, Gary put $108,000,000 into the Michelson Medical Research Foundation. He only spent $4M which he gave to Found Animals Foundation his other group.He did not donate over 100 million for research. It's sitting there making money tax free. That's called tax evasion. Two, Gary names everything after himself, i.e. Michelson Prize, Michelson Medical Research Foundation, Michelson Business Plan Competition, Karlin Asset Management.... Gary even names things after his dogs Bull and Gracie. Gary Michelson forced all these companies to make ilovegary web pages devoted to singing his praises as part of the lawsuit settlement. They are all worded the same so I'm sure it was the result of a lawsuit .Here are some.

These companies were also forced to put stickers all over their spine products which say "Michelson technology at work."

Dr Gary Michelson donated money to USC in exchange for them naming a building after him. They also baked him a cake with his name on it. They did a huge pubic event to announce his donation. Gary also made a bunch of websites for his personal holding companies which brag about how much money he's made investing in teak farms and other investments. Gary pays people to write positive articles about himself. Gary pays people to make videos that glorify him with made up bullshit, i.e. "Gary is only one patent shy of Benjamin Franklin" who had no patents at all because he was against the idea of people owning inventions. Gary is so egotistical that he even lies about doing this shit. He told me he told the LA Weekly writer not to mention his name. I then spoke to the writer and told him it was not cool to mention his name. The writer said Gary insisted. This is just further evidence of there being something very wrong with Gary Michelson. Why else would someone file false criminal charges against someone. Even the LAPD told me he was crazy.

Dr. Gary Karlin Michelson

Dr. Gary Karlin Michelson won a $1.35 billion dollar settlement from Medtronic in 2005 and became an over night billionaire in the Forbes 400 list. G Karlin Michelson files patents for spinal medical devices. His most famous patent the threaded spinal cage was actually invented by other people but he filed the patent first. He is considered by many to be a patent troll.

Gary Michelson started the Found Animals Foundation, 20 Million Minds and Michelson Medical Research Foundation. He also oversees Karlin Asset Management, Karlin Ventures, Karlin Real Estate and Karlin Opportunity Fund which are his own personal holding companies.

This blog is about his biography and history starting in Philadelphia up to today in Los Angeles, California. When Gary Michelson first won the $1.35B dollars he promised to donate all of the money to charity for useful causes such as helping animals, students and people with back problems. He started three foundations but has never fully funded them. He promised to make Los Angeles a No Kill city for animals in 2005 but failed. He promised to give students free books but didn't keep that promise either. Instead Gary Michelson uses his money to wage vicious wars against people to satisfy personal vendettas.

This blog explores his many lawsuits, failed business dealings, his own personal failings and his wife Alya aka Alevtina "Gold" Michelson, stage name Tina Gold and T'n'G. Her real name is Alevtina Shchepetina, Алевтина Щепетина in Russian. She claims to be Russia's first test tube baby and a Kremlin correspondent. These things are not true. Alya was a "model/singer" in Russia. Most read that to mean "Russian mail order bride" or in Gary's case "beard." It was stated in written legal documents that Gary Michelson is a homosexual. That document is included in this blog.
